I feel the same. The reason I liked PUBG so much was that it at least had a pretense of realism - I want to feel like I’m actually trying to survive, it was almost as much of a roleplaying experience as it was a shooter. Apex is fun, but all the crazy powers and gadgets really serve to remind me that I’m playing a…

You know, I have to agree. It’s a pretty show and I dig the concept, but we’re (almost) 1 and a half seasons in and it still doesn’t seem to have a thesis. There’s no point to anything, no underlying theme or reason for this story to be told.

Half true. You get access to the Shard system by subscribing, but you still have to — and can only — earn shards by playing and completing challenges. There’s no way to buy shards with real money, “cash out,” or even trade them to other people.

You do it Hardcore Henry style and just film the whole thing on a GoPro

Well obviously, everyone knows tortoises can’t make memes.

I’m confused, so you actually read 8000 comments about Sekiro: Shadows Die?

Redeye agrees

I just got one yesterday, my previous phone was an iPhone 5S that I’ve had since release.

That’s my problem with OWL as well, it feels so fake and artificial compared to even other esports scenes.

What’s Vulkan support like these days? I know a few games like Doom 2016 used it but I haven’t heard much fuss about it since.

Ah, gotcha! I remember the first few episodes had those flashbacks as well but it was never clear to me that it was actually creating “new” Old Gods instead of just extending their reach.

I’ve had a iPhone 5S since launch and the only scratch it ever suffered was me, on purpose, taking a goddamn ceramic blade to the corner because I was curious to see if it would actually do anything.

I realize this is probably by design but it took me so long to figure out how to cancel my Game Pass subscription from the Windows Store... er, Xbox Store? I’m actually not even clear if those are two separate things.

Probably. There is literally no reason for a modern game to support DX11 and below, them’s just the breaks. I’m sure a small fraction of people will be upset but really, that’s a legacy API at this point.

I have already designed my own lifestyle to not rely on dead-dinosaur-based transport

Wind Waker too, if we want to stretch the definition of “post” to include a few hundred more years.

Yes, but richer (read: statistically, predominately white) communities always have the option to just pack up and leave. They can also rebuild faster and with much less disruption to the community when natural disasters hit.

The biggest scam in history is multi-billion dollar corporations managing to convince the public that the onus for environmental conservation lies on us.

Isn’t that typically done for narrative reasons, though? I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head (maybe Breaking Bad?) but if you have, say, a crime drama featuring a white American lead going up against a Mexican cartel and they start speaking Spanish, presumably it’s because the protagonist isn’t…

Huh, well I guess I stand corrected!
